Official NBA 2016-2017 Thread - 30 teams, 1 goal. 2 weeks left, so much can happen!!

Shit, Da Snitch looking good this year. We still got the 6th man of the year Lou (I look like the Somali Pirate from Captain Philips) Williams, Clarkson looks solid and Brandon "the stick man" Ingram is coming along nice. Timofey is ass, and fuck Lou Aw-dang but I think we will win close to 30 games.

Talk that shit!

in his fucking mind me saying the lakers won't be championship ready in 2 years somehow equates to me saying they never were a championship team lol smmfh

ESPN’s Marc Stein says another team’s offer forced Cavs to re-sign J.R. Smith

It took more than four months, but J.R. Smith and the Cleveland Cavaliers have finally agreed on a new deal to keep the streaky shooting guard in Northeast Ohio.

Many consider the deal luxurious and more than what they expected the Cavs to give him. With the Cavs sticking by their $10.5 million offer and Smith requesting a deal around $15 million, the two sides agreed on a deal around $4.2 million annually.

On Friday morning, ESPN’s Marc Stein reported that it was only a matter of time untilSmith would begin to consider other optionsaround the league.

There are currently six, for the record, with anywhere from $13 million to $27 million in available cap space: Minnesota, Phoenix, Utah, Denver, Brooklyn and Philadelphia.

Boston is not an active suitor for Smith, but sources say that’s only because the Celtics have a mere million-plus in cap space. Sources maintain that the Celtics’ reported interest in Smith is genuine, which means it’s wise to keep an eye on them, since creating cap space with the help of one of those aforementioned six clubs is certainly feasible.

While some teams expressed interest, one team’s serious interest forced the Cavs to up their offer, which Smith agreed to.

It’s interesting to see that the Sixers pursued Smith, considering the difference in the team’s culture compared to the Cavs. The Sixers are clearly in a mode of rebuilding and focusing on the long term future of their young guys while the Cavs have been in win-now mode since J.R. Smith’s arrival to the team. Clearly, however, the Cavs knew they needed Smith back as well as what he brought to the team.
 
Like Drake said with Draymond. You better off just shutting the hell up. Clips aint winning nothing. Pierce gonna roll off into the L.A. sunset and into the TD Bank North Garden rafters. He had a well deserved run. Props to Paul and K.G. on the court tip. The memories were classic looking at old Kobe vs Piere Lakers vs Celts games.

McGee will be important to the Warriors. Playing on a good team with high IQ players will be good for him.

Another guard who can't shoot.:smh:




The Bulls are more so looking for athletic "system players" at this point. MCW fits the system more than Snell. Also, MCW is a MUCH better defender. So the trade makes sense at the moment.

Theyll worry about shooters later down the line im sure. Especially once Wade and Rondo are off the books in a few.
